My NHS

You as a patient and member of the public can stay up-to-date with what is happening in your local health service area by joining the free membership scheme in one of the three types of membership.

Please see below the three types of membership you can opt for:

Type 1 – Information

Members receive regular information about health services, issues and decisions in their geographical area through an electronic bulletin. Members will receive information about health and social care needs and aspirations that have been identified and issues that have been presented and solutions to these issues.

Type 2– Action

Members will receive regular information about health services, issues and decisions in their geographical area through an electronic bulletin but have the additional opportunity to shape and influence what services are needed and brought into their area for the public, patients and carers by attending focus groups, meetings etc. These members will be engaged and consulted in relation to public decisions on priorities and strategies.

Type 3 – Supporter

Members will be an advocate for type 1 and 2 members, feeding their views to the Public, Patient and Carer Engagement (PPCE) Subcommittee and ensuring that the voices of all communities of Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield are represented to the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). They also hold DDES CCG to account ensuring the CCG deliver on their legal and statutory duties with regards to engagement.
